Fun thing is, Grayson's German is getting so good, he's developing German inflection AND a Bavarian accent. If y'all stay in Germany, he'll be indistinguishable (languagewise) within 2 years at most
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife I had made the expierence that it really makes a difference, for learning a foreign language fast, wether you have a native speaker as a teacher in class, and when you´re living abroad.
And I think it would be even faster without the pandemic situation. Children learn fast, havin g contact with other children in school,... Having home schooling and reduced contact makes it quite difficult.
It’s probably also school, talking with many people and being put into situations where you have to speak their language. As adults, a lot of people speak English so if you don’t know sth, you’ll just quickly switch to English to explain. As kids, you don’t usually have that option. Might not be a big difference, but it adds up. But especially the socializing; talking helps the most when learning :D
Graysons Deutsch ist großartig! Aber noch viel interessanter finde ich, dass man bei Kevin so deutlich hört, dass er einen schwedischen Akzent hat! Ich hatte an der Uni eine russische Professorin, die in der Schweiz deutsch gelernt hat. Das war auch eine sehr interessante Mischung an Akzenten.
Grayson gets a huge compliment from me, too! Klingt spitze! And yes, total immersion. It feels like it’s so slow and then one day you suddenly realise how much you can say and understand. Just don’t worry about mistakes when speaking. When writing in German, that’s the time to make sure everything is perfect, but people make mistakes even in their mother tongue, and people also say, no, it’s like this or that in every language. The point is to get your mouth and brain expressing what you want to say, quickly and then you can build on that.
Longer than it should have because a lot of people spoke English to me and I let them. So I honestly cannot say. But my biggest tip is to watch German TV and films (not dubbed from English because they have to speak too fast). A great start is the most brilliant 4-parter (it’s a film, actually) about Ludwig II and Neuschwanstein, which you can find here on RUclips, subtitled in English, on a channel called German Period Dramas. (I’ll check the channel and edit if it’s wrong)
Grayson’s German has improved hugely! Er spricht so gut wie akzentfrei. Ich würde nicht ohne weiteres erkennen, das seine Muttersprache nicht Deutsch ist. In einem Jahr spricht er so gut Deutsch wie Englisch. The use of English words and phrases („Anglizismen“) is a hot-button issue in Germany. Some can’t use enough of them while speaking, others feel it’s much too much.
The Indian languages are really bad in this aspect. No one speaks a pristine form of Hindi or any other Indian language. The main reason I understand what my parents say is because they alway mix their language with English. Even worse, if you try to speak pristine Hindi (or the regional language) the locals will think you are a pompous dork.
@@sebastianliebmann6014 that comment is uncalled for. Coming from a family where the kids in several generations look very very different from each other people thought fit to tell that to their faces - which led to fears of being abandoned and being lied to.
It's so awesome hearing people learn German but then having a Bavarian accent. It's like a German learning English in the deepest south of Alabama hand having a southern drawl. :D
Guten Morgen zusammen. Ihr könnt alle stolz auf euch sein. Ihr macht tolle Fortschritte! Graysons Aussprache ist nahezu perfekt. Kinder lernen Sprachen stets recht schnell und spielerisch. Noch ein weiteres Jahr, und er spricht Englisch mit einem deutschen Akzent 😆😉 Schönen Sonntag wünsche ich euch. Bleibt gesund.
I’ve read some of the comments before he started speaking German so I was “prepared” for some good German, but damn it still blew me away how much of a German he sounds! If I didn’t know he was American, I would definitely think he’s German and always has been. :0
On a different subject, you are really close to Italy. A drive from your location to Venice (through Austria) is about 5 hours. A little less than to Burg Eltz. Could be a great idea for a long weekend. And it's really cheap right now. The carnival of Venice is from Feb 12, 2022 - Tue, Mar 1, 2022. I think the kids would love it, and if I am not mistaken there is a school holiday in Bavaria during that period. (28 Feb 2022 - 4 Mar 2022)
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife Fantastic. I have seen Venice in the news, and it's pretty empty these days. They say they desperately need tourists. I can imagine Hotels or AirBnB's are pretty affordable right now. If you are interested, I can send you some really good and authentic restaurants.
Wow, Grayson totally blew me away. Again. He even adopted something of a Bavarian "Klangbild" in German. This is not a dialect. Literally translated, a "sound-picture". It is neither an accent nor a dialect, because his German was perfect high German (Hochdeutsch). But the cadence, the slight difference in where the focus of inflections are placed is slightly, just a teensy slightly bit different from for example the Klangbild here in Hamburg, even when someone here speaks Hochdeutsch as well. It is sooo fascinating for me to see how he has developed within such a short time. BTW: not that this is bad, not in the slightest bit. It is just barely noticeable if you listen very very closely and you have lived in different regions of Germany for some time. It is only fascinating how he has picked this up. Amazing! Nope, the slightly elongated 'joooaaa' is pretty universal in German colloquial speech. While it might be slightly more used in the south, it will not be a 'betraying' sign of your origin. 😀 BTW: Sara, that "Weißwurst" was almost a perfect Bavarian pronunciation of it. You definitely picked up on that as well. 😀👍 Just for Kevin's dad jokes: Grayson is 10 now, so legally, under your direct supervision he can try a Weißbier at 14, if he wants to. He can legally buy and consume it at 16 himself, without adult supervision. At 18 anything goes. He has picked up the German humor already. He picked up on the literal question of travel in the past year (in 2022) and threw the answer back at ya. Nice! Good going, Grayson! 🤣 There's the joke that there are more clubs in Germany than there are German citizens. While not technically true, Germans absolutely looooove their Vereine / clubs. So becoming a member of a club is probably one of the easiest ways (except meeting other parents at the playground when your kids are there) to meet up and make friendships with Germans. Good for you that you decided to pick up on that tip! Total immersion: perfect! That is the first thing you should try. Not live in your own bubble, but expand it as far as possible. BTW: is the German grandma the one Sara commented on in one of her earliest videos after you arrived here that she had this beautiful garden? It would be sooo great to hear that talking with her about some horticulture could have opened up a friendly contact. You guys will do absolutely fine, and your advances are definitely highly noticeable. Keep it up, you will succeed, I am certain.
In case you want to improve your spoken German, there is a scheme called „Sprach-Tandem“ in Germany. You advertise (Facebook, black board in a store or a school) for a tandem and find a partner. You meet or call once a week and she/he speaks English to you and you answer in German. If the other person makes a mistake it is corrected by the native speaker. Win-win.
Haha 😁 Even as a german I always have problems ordering by phone at our Chinese restaurant. It's like a Kinderüberraschungsei. You never know what you'll get. 😁
Damn, it is awesome to see all the progress you make! Greyson hardly has any accent anymore. You really have to listen very closely to even pick it up. And if you make grammar mistakes, don't get discouraged, that is not the end of the world at all.
your kids can try malztrunk (malzbier). its a alcohol free malt beverage what looks like a dark beer but its very sweet (basicly every brewery got this type of "kids beer"). so when kevin comes up with his dad jokes about drinking beer you have a couterpart.
He is doing really great and he barely has an accent! Awesome. Way to go Grayson! He must have been living in Germany in a former life 😄😉 Also I love his smile and spirit. Actually all of you have it 😊
Ein großer Applaus !. Ich glaube, wenn ihr euch dieses Video in einem Jahr anseht, werdet ihr kichern und euch bewusst werden, wie weit ihr gekommen seid. I cannot remember much of the first year here in Vienna, ( it was a whirlwind year, including a wedding) but I do know that when I went back to the states 18 months later and tried my German on my uncle, from Berlin), he was most impressed 🙂 but he also said I had the local accent. 😀 You know you've arrived when German is in your dreams. Ask your children if they have dreams in German.
Grayson‘s German is really excellent. He‘ll be perfectly bilingual within the next year. Kevin speaks German with a Swedish accent, which sounds very nice.
Lieber Grayson! Dein Deutsch ist wirklich sehr sehr gut! Es macht richtig Spaß, Dir (und deinen Geschwistern) zuzusehen, wie ihr von Video zu Video eurer Eltern immer besser werdet, und Du mit deinen Brüdern und deiner Schwester eure Eltern schon verbessern könnt! :) -and Sarah, your face at Kevins first Weißbiermention 5:33 - its priceless 😂
Grayson ist ein sehr charmanter Bub. In weniger als 10 Jahren wird er manchen jungen Damen den Kopf verdrehen.... Sehr schönes und fröhliches Video. Ein Sonnenstrahl in der dunklen Corona-Zeit..... Herzlichen Dank.
I lived in Bavaria for a few years and you can clearly hear the Bavarian accent when Grayson speaks. His German is really good allready. I know this is not part of the Video but those glasses look fantastic on Grayson. Greetings from Berlin!
I was so exited before watching this video just by reading the title, and I enjoyed every part of it. I love watching your videos, you are an adorable family.
Great job Grayson! The immersion is the reason why we make a difference between learning Deutsch als Zweitsprache (for foreigners living in a German speaking country) vs. Deutsch als Fremdsprache (for foreigners living in a different country) - there are actually different strategies and methods being used for each!
You have already learned a lot of German for such a short time. Much respect and applause. Grayson speaks with a Bavarian-American accent. Maybe in a few years he will melt the hearts of the girls, only while speaking :-)
Wow, guys, your videos are awesome and highly addictive! I look forward to each new experience that you share with us. Grayson makes this video...he is incredibly smart and so full of love-for-life, or joie de vivre...excuse me, lebenslust. You are so natural with these episodes that you seen like friends we haven't met yet. Thanks for sharing!
Grayson is doing awesome! Watching the No.1 news program of the country you're living in every day (Tagesschau in Germany i.e) is very helpful, i think. They usually speak very clear and correct.
Hey folks, thanks for the update. Time is flying, when you're having fun. Anyway, if, at some point, you'll be coming around the Lipperland, I'd be happy to show you guys around.
Hallo Grayson, du machst das ganz toll. Du sprichst schon ein sehr gutes Deutsch. Ich denke, dass du für deine Eltern ein super Helfer bist beim Erlernen der Sprache. Ich wünsche dir weiterhin viel Erfolg und immer gute Freunde an deiner Seite. Ich freue mich jedesmal über die interessanten Videos und vielen Dank an Euch, dass ihr uns an eurem Leben teilnehmen lasst. Liebe Grüße !
Dieses Video anzusehen hat mir große Freude bereitet. Ich würde mir wünschen, dass ihr künftig öfter mal in euren Videos deutsch redet. Ihr macht das wirklich schon sehr gut - vor allem natürlich Grayson. Obwohl natürlich auch sein Deutsch an ein paar Stellen grammatikalisch noch nicht ganz korrekt war, will ich hier doch etwas betonen, das vor allem bei ihm zu beobachten ist: seine Freude (gleichwohl ihr natürlich alle große Freude ausstrahlt)! Freude an einer neuen Kultur und an einer neuen Sprache zu haben ist das Wichtigste. Mögt ihr euch diese Freude bewahren können! Das Interview mit Grayson fand ich auch großartig. Mich würde interessieren, welche Vorstellungen Grayson (natürlich auch ihr alle) vom Leben/Alltag in Deutschland hatte, bevor ihr hierher gezogen seid. Welche davon hatten sich bewahrheitet und welche nicht. Ich kann mich nicht erinnern, dass ihr in einem eurer Videos mal darauf eingegangen seid. Vielleicht könnt ihr (oder auch Grayson, wenn er will) das in einem kommenden Video erwähnen. Liebe Grüße an euch alle und speziell an Grayson
A minor but lengthy comment...I went to Germany in 1984, as part of the US Army. I was stationed in Zweibruecken. I had to find an apartment off of the US Army base. I settled for an apartment in Schartzenecker, or maybe Einoed.. This was in the Saarland. Neither my landlord nor my neighbors spoke English -- they all spoke French and German. (The Saarland has a complicated history with France.) So, to communicate, we spoke German. I learned so much. After 5 years in Germany, including a second tour in Mainz, I could converse fairly well but understood a lot more in reading and writing. (I did take German in college). Alas, after returning the the US, i lost a lot of my knowledge. A friend of mine still speaks German to me. Although I generally understand what he says, I usually have to answer in English -- so sad. I have only been to Germany once since those days. I would love to visit again. You have encouraged me to revisit the language, although I probably should be learning spanish! Thanks very much for your channel! Whatever your future and your children's future hold, knowing a second language is great, espacial for US English speakers. And don't forget to read ( or re-read) Mark Twain's essay, "The Awful German Language!"
Schön zu sehen wie Kinder Sprachen lernen. Er spricht Deutsch, als wäre er ein deutscher. Nice to see how he switches between german an english naturally, with no accents at all. Hoffentlich vergisst er es nicht wenn er älter ist und ihr vielleicht nicht mehr hier lebt.
Insane, he honestly has better pronunciation and grammar than some German kids. Very smart kid! Also, it is quite funny how you already can tell he gets a slight Bavarian dialect. Sehr gut! Macht weiter so, Daumen hoch 👍🏻
The German language is - by a common agreement - one of the most important in the world, deep and heavy in mind and spirit, infinite in their shapes and formations, free and mobile, in their colorings and illuminations of the inner and outer world versatile and diverse. She has tone, accent, music. She has a wealth that you really can inexhaustible can call and the one German with the most strenuous studies of a long life may never encompass. (Ernst Moritz Arndt 1769 - 1860). Euer deutsch klingt schon sehr, sehr gut !!! Weiter so ❤️✊ Have a nice Sunday😊
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife It's the magic of a very old language, which got its special power of expression at the time of the great German poets and thinkers. E.g. by J.W. von Goethe: ruclips.net/video/cFEKLKstD_o/видео.html Unfortunately, some ideologues who lead this language ab-absurum with their stupid gendering today. Unfortunately.
Sadly in the USA it is not readily offered as a course at every high school. Spanish is guaranteed to be offered at all US high schools. Same with French and Latin. But German can go 50-50 or 40-60. My high school did not offer German and some seniors were complaining about it when I was a freshman. I did not learn German until college when after 4 years of Latin (I sometimes feel that I only took Latin because my parents learned Sanskrit) I said, “Forget this! In college, I am going to learn a language people still speak today.” At the University of Michigan, where I went for college, German is actually very popular to learn. They even a Max Kade German House living learning community for students who want to speak German every day. That’s the university’s only language living learning community. They don’t even have one for Spanish 😂!!!
Hallo Superfamilie ! Ich bewundere euren Sohn wie gut er die Deutsche Sprache schon beherrscht! Aber auch ihr habt gut dazu gelernt ! Ihr seit schon viele Orte in Germany besucht ,nicht überall ist die Speisekarte in Deutsch ,oder irgendwelche Hinweise ,da ist es nützlich es Lesen zu können ! Aber eure Kinder sind ja gute Dolmetscher 🤣🤣🤣Alles gute weiterhin ,und bleibt Gesund ,bis zum nächsten Video! Liebe Grüße
Jo! is typical bavarian....and Graysons german is brilliant!!! Kids learn so fast. But your german has improved also a lot. When I learned english in school here in Germany, I had a deal with my mom, who was a fluent speaker as well. The deal was to speak one hour a day only english- no matter what. My skills went up rapidly. To learn a language, speaking is the most important, even if it is the intimidating german language. Speak. Make mistakes. Your reward will be progress.
Ihr habt alle schon so große Fortschritte gemacht! Graysons Deutsch ist wirklich beeindruckend, aber dein Deutsch wird auch von Mal zu Mal besser, Sara! Das ist wirklich eine tolle Leistung, wenn man bedenkt, dass du selbstständig bist und dadurch weniger von Deutsch umgeben bist als die anderen. Du musst dich wirklich nicht entschuldigen oder unwohl fühlen, wenn du über die deutsche Grammatik stolperst - wir verstehen dich auch so ohne Probleme, und die Grammatik kommt mit der Zeit von allein :) You are all making such amazing progress! Grayson's German is really impressive, but your German is quickly improving too, Sara! That really is a great achievement considering you are self-employed and therefore not as surrounded by German as the others. Please don't apologise or feel bad for stumbling over German grammar - we can understand what you're saying perfectly fine, and the grammar will come to you with time :)
Grayson looks so much like his father, the smile (and the sense of humour as far as I can tell) is almost the same! His German pronunciation is so good already, I couldn't tell where he is originally from if I didn't know!
more grayson in the videos please😁 I kept grinning through the whole video, such a smart and funny kid! Another way to learn German is to watch the TV. not TV shows or movies but something like German gameshows, standup comedy, trash shows (its embarassing to mention this, but you do learn a few things in there), etc. since you learn how germans naturally converse with each other and not reading from script. You also pick up alot of phrases and slangs that they normally don‘t do in Tv shows or movies.
He’s such a cutie. We love him so much and enjoyed filming with him! Now we have this video forever for our own memories. 😍 Yes watching German TV shows is very good!
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife - where KIKA (Kinder Kanal/children’s channel) is King. They even bring "adult news" transformed into children’s slang. Probably your youngest child will like it. My all time favorite video about earning language skills: ruclips.net/video/illApgaLgGA/видео.html JFTR (your Fans/viewers).
Grayson's pronunciation is really really good! Always surprised how good kids are able to learn and speak a new language! I do understand english better than I speak, too 🤣 keep it up!
What helped me when I started writing longer texts in English: instead of trusting google translate (because it was quite bad back then), I copied everything into a MS word document and looked at the spell and grammar check. I think this might be also quite helpful to practice German declinations. It will underline every false article and verb ending mercilessly. 😉
Hi, I am from Berlin. I had to smile when you asked your son about his Lieblingsessen. I think most your proposals were bavarian regional kitchen. For example Maultaschen or especually Weißwurst. When I came to Munich first time as a child of eleven shortly after the of the fall the Berlin wall, I've never heard of it before. The if you travel Germany you will discover every very different regional specialities. The same with beer. Nearly every place here has its own beer.
Das Jahr in Deutschland scheint Euch allen gut zu tun! Schaut sehr frisch,gesund und glücklich aus. Schaut mal Eure Gesichter an , den netten Rückblick habt ihr ja reingeschnitten 👍🥳🤗
Such good vibes from you lot :-) Go Grayson, Go! If he likes all things apple, he should try Apfelküchle - slices of apple fried in a batter and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. Delicious! And Kevin's accent/inflection is so so Swedish - he tends to stress the end of his words eg. SomMER, WeißBIER whereas a Geman will stress the front SOMmer, WEIẞbier. With lots of listening that will right itself though.
So awesome that Grayson even pronouces the English words (like Inlineskating) in a German way! Thanks for letting us hear him and you speak German. Go out and talk to the neighbors or your other German friends and gather experience. You'll get better with each time.👍
Grayson really speaks fluently now and it sounds very much German. Sometimes you hear it, but it's negligable. Another year and he will be starting to know things in German, but not in English. Like new words in science from class or books e.g. ;-) Animal names in biology, maths, physics, chemistry...will all be pronounced or even named differently.
Yes!! He is already learning words in Biology that he has to describe to us because he doesn’t know the English names. It’s really cool but also strange.
Ihr seid ja sooo niedlich! 😆 Ich habe euren Kanal erst gestern entdeckt und bin gespannt, was es dort noch alles zu sehen gibt. Viele Grüße nach Bayern aus Niedersachsen! 🤗
Additionally you should visit German courses in the Volkshochschule, if you have the time. For learning a language you need social interaction in a secure environment. All steps will add up.
Yeah they have some great classes! I’m taking live classes online with a German teacher and am really enjoying that, too. I also have mostly only German friends, so that helps a lot.
You and your family are so funny - very good german ! My 23 old daughter forgot her german - but my other 2 grown kids live in germany and speak english with an accent.
Love your wee channel. Lots :) All 3 of you speak such a good German already! Its dead on. You ll be Bavarian's in no time. Keep up the good work. Thanks for brightening up my day with your videos and bringing some Home vibes to NI. Liebe Grüße aus Belfast ♡
I experienced the same with learning English threw TV-Shows. No problems at all to understand it in English, but when it comes to speaking or writing English....yeah, another level. ^^
Also, it's really funny how you name "german foods" and it's so clear that you are in southern Germany! Where I am from, Pommes Currywurst would have definitely been on the list XD
If I had a kid as talented, impressive and likable as Grayson, I'd definitely also parade them in a RUclips video. Your pride is palpable and totally understandable. I do hope we get to see a lot more of him in future videos!
Awe thank you! It’s funny because we had planned for this video to be just Kevin and I, but Grayson heard us talking about it and he said he wanted to join in! So he was a last minute addition. 😍
I know some people (of American and Polish descent) who have lived here for 30 years and speak German really well, but still get the cases wrong. It doesn't really matter for succesful communication (but it will make you sound foreign, that's true).
...ohh my this is what I can learn fast too, I am from the southern part of Philippines 🇵🇭 and arrived here 🇩🇪 a year ago plus, and there's really a language barrier Thank you guys...I can learn by listening from you guys Thanks for the tips...
Love your videos on Sunday morning 😍 Especially when the kids are speaking German - it's so interesting how fast they learn and If it weren't for the odd grammar mistake you couldn't tell Grayson is not from Germany 👍🏻 Btw (don't know if someone has pointed that out before) Kevin's accent in German has a lot of Swedish to it 😀 it's the melody of his speech and the way he rolls his "r"s ... even the "ja" you mentioned sounds very Swedish (but maybe it's also a Bavarian thing ;) ). It's an interesting mix ☺️👏🏻 (P.s. you guys are a great role model when it comes to my Italian learning )
Servus nach Bayern!! 🍀🍻 Absolutely impressive how good he is, amazing. He's getting a little Bavarian accent and it sounds so good. Kid's are not so afraid of everything they just do it and that's a huge advantage with learning something like a language and the kid's learning it together in different situations of life without overthinking it to much. Really cool that he likes to play ice hockey 🏒 That was a wonderful idea of video, it definitely helps to motivate other people.
What an amazing child you have. He will teach you a lot when he keeps growing. Never stop listening to him. Never stop learning. He is an amazing soul, i can feel it through the screen. Keep doing!
Fun thing is, Grayson's German is getting so good, he's developing German inflection AND a Bavarian accent. If y'all stay in Germany, he'll be indistinguishable (languagewise) within 2 years at most
Yeah I think so! Many of our German friends say they can’t hear his accent.
Yes, he's really good. I think he even did say "Inlineskaten", a Germanized form, not "Inlineskating" as subtitled.
@@bibliopolist he did.
@@bibliopolist oh yes he did say that, you’re right!
True.
It’s insane how fast kids learn new languages. Grayson‘s german is amazing!! I wouldn‘t be able to do that...

On a different subject, you are really close to Italy. A drive from your location to Venice (through Austria) is about 5 hours. A little less than to Burg Eltz. Could be a great idea for a long weekend. And it's really cheap right now. The carnival of Venice is from Feb 12, 2022 - Tue, Mar 1, 2022. I think the kids would love it, and if I am not mistaken there is a school holiday in Bavaria during that period. (28 Feb 2022 - 4 Mar 2022)
Yes!! Great idea. We actually do have a vacation planned to Venice for our Osterferien!!

Wow, Grayson totally blew me away. Again. He even adopted something of a Bavarian "Klangbild" in German. This is not a dialect. Literally translated, a "sound-picture". It is neither an accent nor a dialect, because his German was perfect high German (Hochdeutsch). But the cadence, the slight difference in where the focus of inflections are placed is slightly, just a teensy slightly bit different from for example the Klangbild here in Hamburg, even when someone here speaks Hochdeutsch as well. It is sooo fascinating for me to see how he has developed within such a short time.
BTW: not that this is bad, not in the slightest bit. It is just barely noticeable if you listen very very closely and you have lived in different regions of Germany for some time. It is only fascinating how he has picked this up. Amazing!
Nope, the slightly elongated 'joooaaa' is pretty universal in German colloquial speech. While it might be slightly more used in the south, it will not be a 'betraying' sign of your origin. 😀
BTW: Sara, that "Weißwurst" was almost a perfect Bavarian pronunciation of it. You definitely picked up on that as well. 😀👍
Just for Kevin's dad jokes:
Grayson is 10 now, so legally, under your direct supervision he can try a Weißbier at 14, if he wants to. He can legally buy and consume it at 16 himself, without adult supervision. At 18 anything goes.
He has picked up the German humor already. He picked up on the literal question of travel in the past year (in 2022) and threw the answer back at ya. Nice! Good going, Grayson! 🤣
There's the joke that there are more clubs in Germany than there are German citizens. While not technically true, Germans absolutely looooove their Vereine / clubs. So becoming a member of a club is probably one of the easiest ways (except meeting other parents at the playground when your kids are there) to meet up and make friendships with Germans. Good for you that you decided to pick up on that tip!
Total immersion: perfect! That is the first thing you should try. Not live in your own bubble, but expand it as far as possible. BTW: is the German grandma the one Sara commented on in one of her earliest videos after you arrived here that she had this beautiful garden? It would be sooo great to hear that talking with her about some horticulture could have opened up a friendly contact.
You guys will do absolutely fine, and your advances are definitely highly noticeable. Keep it up, you will succeed, I am certain.
In case you want to improve your spoken German, there is a scheme called „Sprach-Tandem“ in Germany. You advertise (Facebook, black board in a store or a school) for a tandem and find a partner. You meet or call once a week and she/he speaks English to you and you answer in German. If the other person makes a mistake it is corrected by the native speaker. Win-win.
That’s so cool! Thanks for sharing!
Kevins Weissbier joke - I often do the same joke with "Pils" beer to my daughter. 😂😂😂
Haha 😁 Even as a german I always have problems ordering by phone at our Chinese restaurant. It's like a Kinderüberraschungsei. You never know what you'll get. 😁
Oh really! Haha that’s good to know.
Oh yes, the Same here 😀
Relatable.
To be totally safe you have to master Mandarin, I guess... 🤔
@@schmoemi3386 😅
Damn, it is awesome to see all the progress you make! Greyson hardly has any accent anymore. You really have to listen very closely to even pick it up. And if you make grammar mistakes, don't get discouraged, that is not the end of the world at all.
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️
your kids can try malztrunk (malzbier). its a alcohol free malt beverage what looks like a dark beer but its very sweet (basicly every brewery got this type of "kids beer"). so when kevin comes up with his dad jokes about drinking beer you have a couterpart.
Karamalz!!! :)
"counterpart". I KNOW you'd bei disapppinted when no German corrected you ( olympic discipline ).

who needs a teacher when you have Grayson. This Boy is more than impressive.
He is doing really great and he barely has an accent! Awesome. Way to go Grayson!
He must have been living in Germany in a former life 😄😉
Also I love his smile and spirit. Actually all of you have it 😊
Thank you so much!
Ein großer Applaus !. Ich glaube, wenn ihr euch dieses Video in einem Jahr anseht, werdet ihr kichern und euch bewusst werden, wie weit ihr gekommen seid.
I cannot remember much of the first year here in Vienna, ( it was a whirlwind year, including a wedding) but I do know that when I went back to the states 18 months later and tried my German on my uncle, from Berlin), he was most impressed 🙂 but he also said I had the local accent. 😀
You know you've arrived when German is in your dreams. Ask your children if they have dreams in German.
Yes so true! Maybe each year we will have a German language update, that would be fun.
Grayson‘s German is really excellent. He‘ll be perfectly bilingual within the next year.
Kevin speaks German with a Swedish accent, which sounds very nice.
Wow , es ist wirklich unglaublich, wie schnell Kinder Sprachen lernen !
Glückwunsch , Grayson spricht phantastisch deutsch, nahezu akzentfrei
I feel like one learns a new language quickly when they are fully immersed in the culture and is staying there
Yes it helps so much!
Lieber Grayson! Dein Deutsch ist wirklich sehr sehr gut! Es macht richtig Spaß, Dir (und deinen Geschwistern) zuzusehen, wie ihr von Video zu Video eurer Eltern immer besser werdet, und Du mit deinen Brüdern und deiner Schwester eure Eltern schon verbessern könnt! :) -and Sarah, your face at Kevins first Weißbiermention 5:33 - its priceless 😂
Hahaha yes! Kevin wouldn't stop talking about beer!
Wow, Grayson is so fluent now and has almost no more foreign accent. Well done young man, you are so rocking the language!
Thank you!
Grayson ist ein sehr charmanter Bub. In weniger als 10 Jahren wird er manchen jungen Damen den Kopf verdrehen.... Sehr schönes und fröhliches Video. Ein Sonnenstrahl in der dunklen Corona-Zeit..... Herzlichen Dank.
I lived in Bavaria for a few years and you can clearly hear the Bavarian accent when Grayson speaks. His German is really good allready. I know this is not part of the Video but those glasses look fantastic on Grayson. Greetings from Berlin!
I was so exited before watching this video just by reading the title, and I enjoyed every part of it. I love watching your videos, you are an adorable family.
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you weren’t disappointed after watching! Haha
Great job Grayson! The immersion is the reason why we make a difference between learning Deutsch als Zweitsprache (for foreigners living in a German speaking country) vs. Deutsch als Fremdsprache (for foreigners living in a different country) - there are actually different strategies and methods being used for each!
You have already learned a lot of German for such a short time. Much respect and applause. Grayson speaks with a Bavarian-American accent. Maybe in a few years he will melt the hearts of the girls, only while speaking :-)
Hahahaha he's so cute I'm sure he will be melting girls' hearts!
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife Not necessarily girls, of course.
Wow, guys, your videos are awesome and highly addictive! I look forward to each new experience that you share with us. Grayson makes this video...he is incredibly smart and so full of love-for-life, or joie de vivre...excuse me, lebenslust.
You are so natural with these episodes that you seen like friends we haven't met yet. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! Vielen dank! 😍
Grayson is doing awesome!
Watching the No.1 news program of the country you're living in every day (Tagesschau in Germany i.e) is very helpful, i think. They usually speak very clear and correct.
Wow! Amazing how fast they addapt a language! He sounds like a native speaker! Sometimes really with a tiny southern accent. So sweet 😍
Yes! Thank you!
Hey folks, thanks for the update. Time is flying, when you're having fun. Anyway, if, at some point, you'll be coming around the Lipperland, I'd be happy to show you guys around.
In a very short time, not also the the child, but his parents , too!
Hallo Grayson,
du machst das ganz toll. Du sprichst schon ein sehr gutes Deutsch. Ich denke, dass du für deine Eltern ein super Helfer bist beim Erlernen der Sprache.
Ich wünsche dir weiterhin viel Erfolg und immer gute Freunde an deiner Seite.
Ich freue mich jedesmal über die interessanten Videos und vielen Dank an Euch, dass ihr uns an eurem Leben teilnehmen lasst.
Liebe Grüße !
Dieses Video anzusehen hat mir große Freude bereitet. Ich würde mir wünschen, dass ihr künftig öfter mal in euren Videos deutsch redet. Ihr macht das wirklich schon sehr gut - vor allem natürlich Grayson. Obwohl natürlich auch sein Deutsch an ein paar Stellen grammatikalisch noch nicht ganz korrekt war, will ich hier doch etwas betonen, das vor allem bei ihm zu beobachten ist: seine Freude (gleichwohl ihr natürlich alle große Freude ausstrahlt)! Freude an einer neuen Kultur und an einer neuen Sprache zu haben ist das Wichtigste. Mögt ihr euch diese Freude bewahren können!
Das Interview mit Grayson fand ich auch großartig. Mich würde interessieren, welche Vorstellungen Grayson (natürlich auch ihr alle) vom Leben/Alltag in Deutschland hatte, bevor ihr hierher gezogen seid. Welche davon hatten sich bewahrheitet und welche nicht. Ich kann mich nicht erinnern, dass ihr in einem eurer Videos mal darauf eingegangen seid. Vielleicht könnt ihr (oder auch Grayson, wenn er will) das in einem kommenden Video erwähnen.
Liebe Grüße an euch alle und speziell an Grayson
graysons german is unbelievably good. mad respect little man. pronunciation, inflection, melody… amazing
Thank you so much!
A minor but lengthy comment...I went to Germany in 1984, as part of the US Army. I was stationed in Zweibruecken. I had to find an apartment off of the US Army base. I settled for an apartment in Schartzenecker, or maybe Einoed.. This was in the Saarland. Neither my landlord nor my neighbors spoke English -- they all spoke French and German. (The Saarland has a complicated history with France.) So, to communicate, we spoke German. I learned so much. After 5 years in Germany, including a second tour in Mainz, I could converse fairly well but understood a lot more in reading and writing. (I did take German in college). Alas, after returning the the US, i lost a lot of my knowledge. A friend of mine still speaks German to me. Although I generally understand what he says, I usually have to answer in English -- so sad. I have only been to Germany once since those days. I would love to visit again. You have encouraged me to revisit the language, although I probably should be learning spanish! Thanks very much for your channel! Whatever your future and your children's future hold, knowing a second language is great, espacial for US English speakers. And don't forget to read ( or re-read) Mark Twain's essay, "The Awful German Language!"
Schön zu sehen wie Kinder Sprachen lernen. Er spricht Deutsch, als wäre er ein deutscher. Nice to see how he switches between german an english naturally, with no accents at all. Hoffentlich vergisst er es nicht wenn er älter ist und ihr vielleicht nicht mehr hier lebt.
Ihr seid einfach süß!
Dankeschön!
Insane, he honestly has better pronunciation and grammar than some German kids. Very smart kid!
Also, it is quite funny how you already can tell he gets a slight Bavarian dialect.
Sehr gut! Macht weiter so, Daumen hoch 👍🏻
Vielen dank!
The German language is - by a common agreement - one of the most important in the world, deep and heavy in mind and spirit, infinite in their shapes and formations, free and mobile, in their colorings and illuminations of the inner and outer world versatile and diverse. She has tone, accent, music. She has a wealth that you really can inexhaustible can call and the one German with the most strenuous studies of a long life may never encompass. (Ernst Moritz Arndt 1769 - 1860). Euer deutsch klingt schon sehr, sehr gut !!! Weiter so ❤️✊ Have a nice Sunday😊
Ah love this!
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife It's the magic of a very old language, which got its special power of expression at the time of the great German poets and thinkers. E.g. by J.W. von Goethe: ruclips.net/video/cFEKLKstD_o/видео.html Unfortunately, some ideologues who lead this language ab-absurum with their stupid gendering today. Unfortunately.
Sadly in the USA it is not readily offered as a course at every high school. Spanish is guaranteed to be offered at all US high schools. Same with French and Latin. But German can go 50-50 or 40-60. My high school did not offer German and some seniors were complaining about it when I was a freshman. I did not learn German until college when after 4 years of Latin (I sometimes feel that I only took Latin because my parents learned Sanskrit) I said, “Forget this! In college, I am going to learn a language people still speak today.” At the University of Michigan, where I went for college, German is actually very popular to learn. They even a Max Kade German House living learning community for students who want to speak German every day. That’s the university’s only language living learning community. They don’t even have one for Spanish 😂!!!
Hallo Superfamilie ! Ich bewundere euren Sohn wie gut er die Deutsche Sprache schon beherrscht! Aber auch ihr habt gut dazu gelernt ! Ihr seit schon viele Orte in Germany besucht ,nicht überall ist die Speisekarte in Deutsch ,oder irgendwelche Hinweise ,da ist es nützlich es Lesen zu können ! Aber eure Kinder sind ja gute Dolmetscher 🤣🤣🤣Alles gute weiterhin ,und bleibt Gesund ,bis zum nächsten Video! Liebe Grüße
Vielen dank! ❤️
I submitted my comment below at the very beginning of the video…wow, wow, wow, Grayson can perfectly pronounce „ü“ and „ch“. Very good!!!
Jo! is typical bavarian....and Graysons german is brilliant!!!
Kids learn so fast. But your german has improved also a lot.
When I learned english in school here in Germany, I had a deal with my mom, who was a fluent speaker as well. The deal was to speak one hour a day only english- no matter what. My skills went up rapidly. To learn a language, speaking is the most important, even if it is the intimidating german language. Speak. Make mistakes. Your reward will be progress.
Similar in scandinavia.
Y'all are soo funny! And thanks to Grayson for being part of the video! He's amazing! (and incredibly patient)
Yeah he was so patient with us! Hahahaha
Kinder lernen fremde Sprachen oftmals sehr schnell und nahezu perfekt..👍👍👍👍
Ihr habt alle schon so große Fortschritte gemacht! Graysons Deutsch ist wirklich beeindruckend, aber dein Deutsch wird auch von Mal zu Mal besser, Sara! Das ist wirklich eine tolle Leistung, wenn man bedenkt, dass du selbstständig bist und dadurch weniger von Deutsch umgeben bist als die anderen. Du musst dich wirklich nicht entschuldigen oder unwohl fühlen, wenn du über die deutsche Grammatik stolperst - wir verstehen dich auch so ohne Probleme, und die Grammatik kommt mit der Zeit von allein :)
You are all making such amazing progress! Grayson's German is really impressive, but your German is quickly improving too, Sara! That really is a great achievement considering you are self-employed and therefore not as surrounded by German as the others. Please don't apologise or feel bad for stumbling over German grammar - we can understand what you're saying perfectly fine, and the grammar will come to you with time :)
Grayson looks so much like his father, the smile (and the sense of humour as far as I can tell) is almost the same! His German pronunciation is so good already, I couldn't tell where he is originally from if I didn't know!
more grayson in the videos please😁 I kept grinning through the whole video, such a smart and funny kid!
Another way to learn German is to watch the TV. not TV shows or movies but something like German gameshows, standup comedy, trash shows (its embarassing to mention this, but you do learn a few things in there), etc. since you learn how germans naturally converse with each other and not reading from script. You also pick up alot of phrases and slangs that they normally don‘t do in Tv shows or movies.
He’s such a cutie. We love him so much and enjoyed filming with him! Now we have this video forever for our own memories. 😍 Yes watching German TV shows is very good!
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife - where KIKA (Kinder Kanal/children’s channel) is King. They even bring "adult news" transformed into children’s slang. Probably your youngest child will like it.
My all time favorite video about earning language skills:
ruclips.net/video/illApgaLgGA/видео.html
JFTR (your Fans/viewers).
Beeindruckend wie schnell die Kids lernen. Grayson spricht ja schon fast Akzentfrei.
Grayson is so sweet ☺️😍 His german is great.
Grayson's pronunciation is really really good! Always surprised how good kids are able to learn and speak a new language! I do understand english better than I speak, too 🤣 keep it up!
Thank you! Yeah they learn so fast!
What helped me when I started writing longer texts in English: instead of trusting google translate (because it was quite bad back then), I copied everything into a MS word document and looked at the spell and grammar check. I think this might be also quite helpful to practice German declinations. It will underline every false article and verb ending mercilessly. 😉
That’s a great idea!
Hi, I am from Berlin.
I had to smile when you asked your son about his Lieblingsessen. I think most your proposals were bavarian regional kitchen. For example Maultaschen or especually Weißwurst. When I came to Munich first time as a child of eleven shortly after the of the fall the Berlin wall, I've never heard of it before.
The if you travel Germany you will discover every very different regional specialities. The same with beer. Nearly every place here has its own beer.
Das Jahr in Deutschland scheint Euch allen gut zu tun! Schaut sehr frisch,gesund und glücklich aus. Schaut mal Eure Gesichter an , den netten Rückblick habt ihr ja reingeschnitten 👍🥳🤗
Grayson is a very smart kid. Clever and curious, too. He has improved his german language skills very well!
Thank you!
Such good vibes from you lot :-) Go Grayson, Go! If he likes all things apple, he should try Apfelküchle - slices of apple fried in a batter and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. Delicious! And Kevin's accent/inflection is so so Swedish - he tends to stress the end of his words eg. SomMER, WeißBIER whereas a Geman will stress the front SOMmer, WEIẞbier. With lots of listening that will right itself though.
So awesome that Grayson even pronouces the English words (like Inlineskating) in a German way! Thanks for letting us hear him and you speak German.
Go out and talk to the neighbors or your other German friends and gather experience. You'll get better with each time.👍
👏 for the whole My Merry Messy Life-Family, because, Mommy requested it 😂
Keep up the good spirit, nice to see you all healthy.
Grayson really speaks fluently now and it sounds very much German. Sometimes you hear it, but it's negligable.
Another year and he will be starting to know things in German, but not in English. Like new words in science from class or books e.g.
;-)
Animal names in biology, maths, physics, chemistry...will all be pronounced or even named differently.
Yes!! He is already learning words in Biology that he has to describe to us because he doesn’t know the English names. It’s really cool but also strange.
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife hahaha that’s the natural process actually. He’s becoming German.
WOW!!! Listening to Grayson is just WOW!!
😍😍❤️❤️
Ihr seid ja sooo niedlich! 😆 Ich habe euren Kanal erst gestern entdeckt und bin gespannt, was es dort noch alles zu sehen gibt. Viele Grüße nach Bayern aus Niedersachsen! 🤗
Grayson's German is so good! Awesome! Love your channel!
Additionally you should visit German courses in the Volkshochschule, if you have the time. For learning a language you need social interaction in a secure environment. All steps will add up.
They talked about that in their previous video :)
Yeah they have some great classes! I’m taking live classes online with a German teacher and am really enjoying that, too. I also have mostly only German friends, so that helps a lot.
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife Immersion is key with learning languages for sure.
Grayson ist ein sehr intelligenter und süßer Junge! Danke Grayson, dass du so geduldig warst!!!❤❤❤
Ihr seid eine tolle Familie, so lustig. Ich freue mich immer über Eure Erfahrungen zu hören. 😊
Dankeschön!
Grayson and Kevin have different, but matching sets of glasses in both videos. Cute :).
True! Hahaha they are both cute. 😍
You and your family are so funny - very good german ! My 23 old daughter forgot her german - but my other 2 grown kids live in germany and speak english with an accent.
Love your wee channel. Lots :) All 3 of you speak such a good German already! Its dead on. You ll be Bavarian's in no time. Keep up the good work. Thanks for brightening up my day with your videos and bringing some Home vibes to NI. Liebe Grüße aus Belfast ♡
I experienced the same with learning English threw TV-Shows. No problems at all to understand it in English, but when it comes to speaking or writing English....yeah, another level. ^^
Yes they are two different skills!
Also, it's really funny how you name "german foods" and it's so clear that you are in southern Germany! Where I am from, Pommes Currywurst would have definitely been on the list XD
Oh we forgot about Currywurst! That’s popular down here, too.
If I had a kid as talented, impressive and likable as Grayson, I'd definitely also parade them in a RUclips video. Your pride is palpable and totally understandable. I do hope we get to see a lot more of him in future videos!
Awe thank you! It’s funny because we had planned for this video to be just Kevin and I, but Grayson heard us talking about it and he said he wanted to join in! So he was a last minute addition. 😍
You're all doing so great with the learning! I have German 8th graders in my class who still get the cases wrong...You kids will be fluent in no time
Thank you so much! ❤️
I know some people (of American and Polish descent) who have lived here for 30 years and speak German really well, but still get the cases wrong. It doesn't really matter for succesful communication (but it will make you sound foreign, that's true).
...ohh my this is what I can learn fast too, I am from the southern part of Philippines 🇵🇭 and arrived here 🇩🇪 a year ago plus, and there's really a language barrier
Thank you guys...I can learn by listening from you guys
Thanks for the tips...
Grayson speaks really really well!
Gut gemacht, Kevin! 👏👏👏
Love your videos on Sunday morning 😍 Especially when the kids are speaking German - it's so interesting how fast they learn and If it weren't for the odd grammar mistake you couldn't tell Grayson is not from Germany 👍🏻
Btw (don't know if someone has pointed that out before) Kevin's accent in German has a lot of Swedish to it 😀 it's the melody of his speech and the way he rolls his "r"s ... even the "ja" you mentioned sounds very Swedish (but maybe it's also a Bavarian thing ;) ). It's an interesting mix ☺️👏🏻
(P.s. you guys are a great role model when it comes to my Italian learning )
So cool how you can hear the Swedish in Kevins accent. I often roll my R’s because I’ve leaned a lot of Spanish and French. I love accents!
Grayson is almost fluent. Awesome.
Servus nach Bayern!! 🍀🍻
Absolutely impressive how good he is, amazing. He's getting a little Bavarian accent and it sounds so good.
Kid's are not so afraid of everything they just do it and that's a huge advantage with learning something like a language and the kid's learning it together in different situations of life without overthinking it to much.
Really cool that he likes to play ice hockey 🏒
That was a wonderful idea of video, it definitely helps to motivate other people.
What an amazing child you have. He will teach you a lot when he keeps growing. Never stop listening to him. Never stop learning. He is an amazing soul, i can feel it through the screen. Keep doing!
Grayson is adorable! A Mini-Me of Kevin! 💕
Thank you, we love him so much!
